Building Expansion Project

Rooted in Faith, Grounded in Community.

Where We Are in the Process

For many years, St. Joseph Catholic Church has been blessed with a growing and vibrant parish community. Our campaign for the 2030 Project will support the service and work we do in our ministries, religious education programs, and parish life so our facilities can best support our mission, both now and for generations to come.

As we look toward celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2030, this campaign represents more than new buildings—it is an investment in the life and future of Saint Joseph Catholic Church.

As we plan thoughtfully and proactively for the needs of our growing community, there are several projects. Construction is underway for a new rectory located south along 9th Street.
We anticipate completion and move-in by January 2027.

Once complete, the current rectory will be removed to make way for a new parish hall and additional parking, creating the space needed to support parish life for generations to come. Preparations for the future parish hall will begin as early as possible in 2027, with construction projected for completion in 2028. Activities on our current campus are expected to continue without disruption until work begins on the expansion of the Nave.

How Can I Help?

With a generous $2 million bequest from Amy and Bob Green along with $1 million from our building fund, we are securing gifts and pledges from members of our parish community. We invite every household to prayerfully consider participating in this important effort.

Our goal is to raise between $5 million and $7.5 million in commitments before Labor Day. If you haven’t received your campaign information packet, please call the parish office, or complete the form below:

Transparency & Communication

We are committed to keeping our parish informed at every stage. Updates will be shared as major milestones are reached. Once construction begins (if approved), we will provide regular monthly updates.

All key documents, letters, and planning materials will be available here on this page. Our goal is to proceed prayerfully, transparently, and in unity as a parish family.

Rooted in Mission

Any potential expansion is not about buildings alone; it is about strengthening the mission of St. Joseph Catholic Church to proclaim the Gospel, form disciples, and serve our community.

We ask for your continued prayers as we seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in this important time of discernment.
